A game that had a lot to live up to. What was supposed to be the "final" game in the series had to wrap up so many things that was introduced by the ending of MGS2.
I love this game, warts and all. There's so much good in it, but there's also a ton of stuff that does not live up to its potential. The first two acts of the game are great, but essentially a tech demo for the scrapped "living battlefield" idea. Things like being able to influence a proxy war to benefit you in different ways by siding with different factions is an awesome idea. I would love to see a game realize that idea some day.
I was so hyped for this game. It was basically all I could think about during the last month or so leading up to launch. This was my summer game of 2008 that I would play every day after a really shitty day at my minimum wage job, so I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for it.
